Experiment code 19.4.3.45
Experiment Title Selection, propagation and clonal evaluation of Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss. and Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees germplasm for growth and biomass productivity.
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss. and Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees are two very important bamboo species for south Gujarat region by considering their natural availability & demand in market and suitability for various end uses. However, there is no tested high yielding clones of both the species for large scale production in the farm field and conventional plantation. Moreover, there is continuous inquiry from farmers for quality planting materials of these two species. Hence, this experiment is proposed with objectives to study the genetic variability and selection of superior clumps, propagation and evaluation of selected clones for growth and biomass potential.

Objective
  1. To study the genetic variability for growth attributes and selecting Candidate Plus Clumps (CPCs) in Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss. and Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees in south Gujarat.
  2. To evaluate selected CPCs of Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss. and Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees for early growth and biomass attributes in the field.

Treatment

Minimum 15 CPCs (for each species) will be selected in the bamboo growing areas depending upon the variability in growth and morphological attributes. The exact area for germplasm collection will be submitted in next year AGRESCO meeting.

The final treatments will be provided after selection of species for analysis of observations
